In the factory, Su Zhe and the other five people stood next to a pile of scattered parts. Zuo Dajun pointed at a set of huge battery packs and said, "This is a super battery. Compared with the lithium batteries of the past, this super battery is much stronger. However, this super battery is still not suitable for the standard mechas we manufacture. What we are looking forward to is the miniaturization of the proton nuclear fusion device, and even more looking forward to the fusion-fission cycle nuclear battery."
The height of a standard mecha is thirteen meters, so it is conceivable that its weight is unclear.
As for the current super battery, it is only used for testing. If it is really put into use, this super battery will not work.
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "It is impossible to rely on super batteries for a big thing like a standard mecha. Of course, if a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine is developed, it will still be possible. As for the miniaturization of the proton fusion device, we can look forward to it. Fusion-fission cycle nuclear batteries are still in the theoretical stage, and whether we can see them is still a question."
The theoretical verification of the proton nuclear fusion device has been passed and is now being prepared for construction.
Success is only a recent thing.
Miniaturization is no longer a problem.
As for fusion-fission cycle nuclear batteries, this is still in the theoretical stage.
To succeed, it will be possible only when controllable nuclear fusion technology and nuclear fission technology reach a fairly mature stage.
"I think fusion and fission cycle nuclear batteries will be seen in our lifetime. With the current development speed of science and technology, it is possible for us to live to be 500 years old. I still can't build fusion in 500 years." Fission cycle nuclear batteries." Zuo Dajun said, "Fusion and fission cycle nuclear batteries are still relatively far away, but the miniaturization of proton nuclear fusion devices is expected to be fast. As long as it succeeds, the energy problem of this standard mecha will basically be solved. There will be no problem if it is put into use.”
Zuo Dajun said and looked at Su Zhe who was standing aside.
At the same time, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, and Bao Qizheng also looked at Su Zhe.
Seeing the four people looking at him, Su Zhe explained: "It is somewhat difficult to miniaturize the proton fusion device, but it will not be too big. Now we are looking at whether this road can be successful. As long as the proton fusion device is completed, it is estimated that That’s about it for miniaturization.”
"That's it! That's good, that's good." Xu Zhengping had a smile on his face.
At this time, Zuo Dajun pointed to a spherical piece of equipment and said: "This is the second-generation cockpit of a standard mecha. For now, its cockpit can withstand twenty G accelerations, and its life support system can maintain two Fourteen hours."
Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "Not bad, twenty G's. I remember that the first generation cockpit can only withstand acceleration of ten G's. How long has it been? It's a big improvement!"
This acceleration is a big obstacle for people.
Take mechas and humanoid robots, for example.
When the former is carrying people, its acceleration is greatly limited due to the relationship between people, while the latter does not need to consider people.
The simplest example is a flying saucer.
The upper limit of acceleration for a purely cargo-carrying flying saucer is 200 G. This is the upper limit of the flying saucer itself. With the development of science and technology and the advancement of materials and engines, the upper limit of acceleration will increase.
The acceleration of a manned flying saucer is strictly limited. Under normal circumstances, it only flies at an acceleration of 1.5 G. If the manned flying saucer also flies like a cargo spacecraft, it will directly send all the people away.
By comparing the two, you can tell the difference between someone and someone without one.
Zuo Dajun sighed: "No matter how much progress is made, it can't compare to humanoid bionic robots. Two hundred Gs, this is what standard mechas pursue."
Bao Qi said bluntly: "In the case of remote control, a standard mecha should not be able to reach 200 G. When it is manned, it is better not to think about it. With current science and technology, 200 G is almost impossible."
"Yes! Two hundred G is impossible, but I still want to have greater acceleration." Zuo Dajun said, "In addition to the acceleration that can be tolerated, there is also the life support system. Now it is twenty-four hours. In fact, this depends on personal eating, drinking, and diarrhea. We cannot solve these problems now. Our goal is the kind of sleep cabin. The human body is in a dormant state, but the brain
In an active state, standard mechas can be directly controlled through consciousness. It would be best if the human body is provided with necessary materials and energy consumption. There are many scientific research teams currently studying this type of dormant cabin. I estimate that many There will be results soon. "
This kind of sleeping cabin has a very wide range of uses.
It is not just the cockpit of a standard mecha, it can be used for long-distance flights of flying saucers, people can stay in the virtual universe for a long time without eating or drinking, or control humanoid bionic robots for a long time, etc.
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "Take your time, there is a lot of research in this area now, and it can always be done. On the contrary, human beings need such a sleeping cabin. We can lie in the sleeping cabin and remotely control the humanoid bionics through the brain-computer. Robots, coupled with the virtual universe, it is estimated that the real society will be greatly changed by this time."
Xu Zhengping thought for a while and said: "If there is a dormant cabin that can sustain human life for a long time, then we can really get rid of our bodies. We lie in the dormant cabin and let our consciousness enter the virtual universe through the brain computer, and we can also Humanoid bionic robots can be controlled with consciousness. At this time, apart from being the carrier of our consciousness, our body is really dispensable."
[In view of the general environment,
Zuo Dajun said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, we will have this day sooner or later. By then, we will feel that our bodies constrain our consciousness and feel that our bodies are a burden. In the virtual era! We are born directly Lying in a dormant cabin, living in a virtual universe with consciousness, even interfering with the real world is achieved by controlling a humanoid bionic robot. Not to mention, this is really a good path, and it is worth spending a lot of money to explore. "
"I am sorting it out and will soon give the relevant information to the relevant departments. I think the plan we proposed will be accepted by the relevant departments. It would be great to let those people develop the virtual universe." Fan Xiaoming said, " If you can have a long-term life-sustaining hibernation chamber and a brain computer, you can live in the virtual universe for a long time. You know, in the virtual universe, you can get whatever you want, and it is much happier than in the real world."
A brain machine plus a dormant chamber that can sustain life for a long time is a perfect match for the virtual universe.
If we really let go now, anything can be achieved in the virtual universe.
That is truly what you want to achieve.
Speaking of which, it is actually the stimulation of the brain by information. There are only things you can't think of and nothing you can't do.
As for whether it is happier than the real world, it’s hard to say.
In his opinion, even if those people are allowed to develop the virtual universe, certain rules must be followed in the virtual universe.
If it was really that kind of free space with no rules, it wouldn't be a mess.
Just think about it and you will know that if a person is in a free space, this person is a god. In this space, this person can have whatever he wants and do whatever he wants, and what will be the final result.
What would the world be like if there were two or more people in a free space? In this free space, these people were all gods, and they were gods with the same power.
Regardless of whether it is a virtual universe or not, it is unrealistic without rules.
Bao Qizheng was a little moved, and nodded and said: "This is almost the same as the brain in a vat written in science fiction. The difference is the difference between the brain and the human body. If you ask me to say that in the end, we might as well just leave the brain behind. , everything else is a burden anyway.”
Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "This brain is not very good. It is best to digitize human consciousness directly. In this way, we can directly abandon the brain and achieve immortality."
Digital life is a long-term research topic.
Fan Xiaoming reminded: "Immortality does not mean that you cannot die. No matter what it is, if you directly destroy its carrier, the immortality will disappear no matter how hard it is."
"That goes without saying." Zuo Dajun pointed at the pile of parts in front of him and said, "For standard mechas, the first problem we have to solve is the energy problem. That, to be precise, is not ours to solve."
Zuo Dajun said and looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming with some embarrassment.
Fan Xiao
Ming nodded and said: "Understood, let's see when we all solve the problem of miniaturization of the proton nuclear fusion device! Actually! I don't know you who are looking forward to the success and miniaturization of the proton nuclear fusion device. There are many, many people who are looking forward to it, so just wait. Once this is achieved, it will be a qualitative leap for us humans, and we will directly become an interstellar civilization."
"Yes! If the miniaturization of the proton nuclear fusion device is successful, I will install it on the humanoid bionic robot. There will be no need for beam channels or charging. If it is filled with nuclear fuel, the humanoid bionic robot will be able to fly from one end of the solar system to the other. To the other end of the solar system." Bao Qi was smiling, "Not to mention miniaturization, as long as the proton nuclear fusion device is successful, the Penglai space city will be built immediately, and our trip to Proxima Centauri will be on the agenda."
Su Zhe said: "We have been looking forward to controllable nuclear fusion for many years. Once it is realized, it means that energy will no longer be limited, and naturally there will be endless imagination."
"Yes!" Zuo Dajun nodded and continued, "After the proton nuclear fusion device is successfully miniaturized, the standard mecha can be put into use. The second is the cockpit, which is its life support system. Although this is complicated, it can be slowed down. Slow iteration, in general, I expect that the minimum energy requirement of a standard mecha is that it can last for a month under high-intensity output, and the minimum requirement for its life support system is also one month. By the way, if Just install a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine."
Bao Qizheng smiled, "You are exaggerating a bit. According to your point of view, your standard mecha will be capable of interstellar flight."
"Yes! That's what I think." Zuo Dajun said matter-of-factly, "What I want is a mecha capable of interstellar flight. According to my idea, people driving standard mechas can survive in space for a long time. , the most ideal, standard mecha can use fusion fission cycle nuclear batteries, which can be charged by stars anytime and anywhere, and its cockpit can sustain human life for a long time, preferably one that is more than a hundred years old, and then Install a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine and it will be perfect."
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile on his face, "Of course this is perfect. If there is a standard mecha with this configuration, then there is no need for flying saucers or anything like that. You can just drive a standard mecha and roam the universe."
Bao Qizheng said with a smile: "This is a wonderful idea. Not to mention, it is really possible to realize. Of course, this fusion fission cycle nuclear battery is difficult, and even a hundred years is a bit exaggerated. , but who can say this accurately? If you ask me, what I am most looking forward to is the instantaneous information transmission technology. Once such technology is available, this standard mecha will have no use."
Now, the biggest flaw of humanoid bionic robots is the transmission of information.
Information is transmitted at the speed of light, which means it is subject to limitations, and then there is the problem of information being interfered with.
If instantaneous information transmission technology is realized and there is no interference problem, then there will really be no problem with mechas.
At this time, it is completely possible to remotely control humanoid bionic robots all over the universe.
Zuo Dajun glanced at Bao Qizheng and said with a smile: "I must be thinking for the best. As for the instantaneous information transmission technology you mentioned, let me put it this way, whether this technology exists or not is still a question. To be honest, I I feel that there is no possibility of such technology in the universe. Even if it is, I don’t know when it will be realized. After all, there is no basic theory to support such technology. "
Although they often mention instantaneous information transmission technology, and there are many scientific research teams doing research in this area, everyone knows that this technology is too difficult to implement.
This technology is not the least bit more difficult than genuine heavy photon aerospace engines, long-term life support systems, and fusion-fission cycle nuclear batteries.
To say that the latter is possible, there is only a slight possibility that the former can be realized.
In fact, everyone knows that instant information transmission technology is the ultimate goal of research, and what everyone values is the research process.
But then again, as Bao Qizheng said, if instantaneous information transmission technology is really realized, then there is really no need for mechas to exist.
If it really comes to fruition, then mankind will feel that it can usher in explosive development.
Bao Qizheng said nonchalantly: "It's hard to talk about this.
, even if true instantaneous information transmission technology cannot be achieved, a weak version is still possible. "
Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "Yes! It's hard to say a lot of things now. After all, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the universe. Jokingly speaking, maybe the universe we are in now is virtual, but we haven't confirmed it yet. You also know that in the virtual universe we have created, we can create any world at will. We can create any world we want. Super-light speed, teleportation, and instantaneous information transmission technology are none of these. question."
"This...not to mention, maybe our universe is really virtual." Fan Xiaoming sighed, "We now have the ability to create such a virtual universe. Maybe our universe is a virtual universe created by other intelligent life forms. .”
